Video Quality

This page provides instructions on how to adjust the video quality settings on your device when playing content through the Optus Sport online player.

Bandwidth indicator

When playing a video, a bandwidth indicator is presented in the top left hand corner of the screen.

The indicator changes colour between Red, Amber and Green based on the bandwidth you are receiving. The icon switches between the colours when the current bandwidth changes as per the following ranges:

Red – less than 1.1Mbps

Amber – between ~1.09Mbps and 2.59Mbps

Green – greater than 2.59Mbps
